"Did I say you could leave?"
Seeing Meng Xing about to leave, Jiang Chen spoke.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed in Meng Xing’s mind.
With an ugly expression, Meng Xing turned back and sneered, "Kid, don’t get ahead of yourself."
"Besides, if I want to leave, can you even stop me?"
He couldn’t stomach being humiliated like this by a mere Warrior Seventh Heaven brat.
If not for his fear of the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, he would have already gone up and annihilated Jiang Chen and the others.
He had already suffered a huge loss this time. His brother was killed by them, and he still hadn’t obtained the Moyang Flower.
His heart was filled with rage.
Naturally, he had no intention of letting Jiang Chen and the others go.
He was just leaving temporarily to call for reinforcements.
"Whether I can stop you or not... why don’t you stick around and find out?"
Jiang Chen waved a hand at the Celestial Brown Ridge Python behind him.
"Kill him."
How could Jiang Chen let things slide after being provoked?
If they hadn’t been strong enough, they would have already been wiped out by the two brothers from the Meng Family.
In the world of Martial Cultivators, there was only the law of the jungle: the strong live, and the weak die.
And Jiang Chen wasn’t the type to be pushed around and swallow his anger.
"HISS..."
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python immediately let out a hiss. Its twenty-meter-long body swayed, and with incredible speed, it shot forward in a blur, heading straight for Meng Xing.
Meng Xing’s expression changed drastically.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to actually dare to send the Celestial Brown Ridge Python to kill him.
Finally provoked, he stopped.
"I’d like to see just how powerful this Celestial Brown Ridge Python really is."
’If I can kill the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, I’ll have another chance to come back and kill Jiang Chen and the others.’
Soon, Meng Xing and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python were locked in battle.
Both were at the Martial Master Third Heaven cultivation level.
The two of them quickly carried their fight into the canyon.
A battle of this level created a huge commotion.
The entire canyon echoed with thunderous roars.
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python hissed repeatedly, its massive body swaying back and forth.
Its killing intent was palpable.
Although Meng Xing was skilled, he discovered that he was truly no match for the ferocious Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
In just a short time, he was already in a sorry state.
He was forced to retreat again and again.
"SWOOSH!"
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python executed a Divine Dragon’s tail whip, lashing out at Meng Xing.
Meng Xing immediately swept his Steel Fork to meet it.
"BOOM!"
A loud crash rang out. The Celestial Brown Ridge Python’s strike sent such a violent tremor through Meng Xing’s Steel Fork that he almost lost his grip.
His arm was numb from the impact.
’This strong?’
He was utterly shocked. After holding on for a moment, he was beaten back by the python.
This continued for some time.
"BANG!"
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python sent Meng Xing flying. His Steel Fork was knocked out of his hands, crashing heavily into the canyon.
"HISS..."
Then, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python reappeared in front of Meng Xing in a flash, its massive, bloody maw snapping down viciously.
"Wait."
In that moment, Meng Xing knew that if the Celestial Brown Ridge Python ate him, he would truly be dead.
He hurriedly shouted.
Knowing the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was controlled by Jiang Chen, he looked towards him.
"Wait, I have something to say."
Jiang Chen leaped down from the cliff face, and Zhan Yang and the others followed suit.
They appeared beside the Celestial Brown Ridge Python and Meng Xing.
Everyone looked at the subdued Meng Xing.
Jiang Chen said coolly, "What else do you have to say?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
But Meng Xing suddenly said, "You can’t kill me."
"I’m a member of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps. If they find out you killed me, our Blood Light Mercenary Corps will hunt you to the ends of the earth!"
What?
Hearing the name "Blood Light Mercenary Corps"...
In that instant, both Zhan Yang and JinLing shuddered.
They exclaimed in shock.
"The Blood Light Mercenary Corps? Are you really one of them?"
It seemed they knew of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps.
Sure enough, hearing that someone recognized the Blood Light Mercenary Corps, Meng Xing knew this was his chance to escape.
He said hurriedly, "That’s right. If you know the Blood Light Mercenary Corps, you should also know about the two brothers from the Meng Family within it. I am Meng Xing, and the one you killed was my younger brother, Meng Kun."
The expressions on Zhan Yang, JinLing, and Niu Tuo’s faces all grew solemn.
Jiang Chen, however, had no idea what this so-called Blood Light Mercenary Corps was.
He looked toward Zhan Yang and the others.
Zhan Yang spoke up, "Jiang Chen, it’s true. The Blood Light Mercenary Corps is a Three-Star Mercenary Corps."
"This Meng Xing and Meng Kun are both members."
Their Warring States Mercenary Corps was only a Two-Star Mercenary Corps.
Their goal was to become a Three-Star Mercenary Corps.
And the Blood Light Mercenary Corps was a genuine Three-Star Mercenary Corps.
The advantage of a Three-Star Mercenary Corps was that they could accept Three-Star Tasks, which offered higher commissions.
Of course, the most basic requirement to become a Three-Star Mercenary Corps was to have a Martial Master-level expert.
Moreover, the Blood Light Mercenary Corps was one of the top-ranked among the Three-Star Mercenary Corps.
Zhan Yang and the others were very familiar with the Blood Light Mercenary Corps.
Their captain was on the verge of becoming a Martial King Expert and was also pushing for them to become a Four-Star Mercenary Corps.
"Jiang Chen, this Blood Light Mercenary Corps... they’re not to be trifled with."
"Their captain is called One-Eyed Wolf, an expert at the Martial Master Peak of Nine Heavens."
"We’ve provoked someone we shouldn’t have this time."
He sounded bitter, realizing now that they had accidentally stumbled into huge trouble.
After hearing Zhan Yang’s words, Jiang Chen’s expression remained completely unfazed.
"The Blood Light Mercenary Corps? Just a measly Three-Star Mercenary Corps."
He paid them no mind at all.
’Mentioning the Blood Light Mercenary Corps is just a threat.’
Jiang Chen stared at Meng Xing with a cold gaze. The Celestial Brown Ridge Python, meanwhile, never took its eyes off Meng Xing, waiting only for Jiang Chen’s command to devour him without hesitation.
"See, kid? The Blood Light Mercenary Corps is a top-tier team even among Three-Star Mercenary Corps."
"You’d better let me go, and I’ll let bygones be bygones."
As he spoke, a flicker in his eyes betrayed the vicious glint hidden within.
’Would he let Jiang Chen and the others go?’
’Impossible.’
Jiang Chen shook his head indifferently. "Unfortunately, I’m not afraid of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps."
With that, Jiang Chen gestured to the Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
"Swallow him."
What?
Hearing that Jiang Chen was actually going to have the Celestial Brown Ridge Python swallow him, Meng Xing nearly pissed himself in terror.
"Brother, don’t do this! My word is my bond! Just let me go, and I swear I won’t retaliate."
He began to swear oaths, his tone softening.
At a time like this, saving his own life was all that mattered.
Even Zhan Yang gave a bitter smile. "Jiang Chen, maybe we should just let him go."
He was genuinely wary of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps. If their Warring States Mercenary Corps provoked the Blood Light Mercenary Corps, their days as mercenaries would be over.
The Blood Light Mercenary Corps could come after them at any time.
"Even if we let him go, do you really think he’ll let us go?"
"We’ve already killed his brother."
"I still believe in one saying the most: dead men tell no tales."
Jiang Chen had no intention of letting Meng Xing go. From the moment Meng Xing had first tried to kill them, Jiang Chen had never considered sparing him.
"HISS..."
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python suddenly opened its massive maw and lunged toward Meng Xing.
"You... you will all regret this!"
Meng Xing roared, knowing he was about to die. A small ball suddenly appeared in his hand, and he flung it violently into the sky.
